This week on the Empire Podcast we kindly request that you do not adjust your speakers, or your headphones, before diving in. “Why?” we hear you cry. Well, simply put, because Ralph Ineson’s voice really is just that deep and sonorous — as you’ll hear in the first of our two interviews this week, which sees Chris Hewitt sit down with the actor who plays the planet-eating entity Galactus in next week’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps to talk about joining the MCU and how his voice is his passport. [1:04:38 — 1:20:16 approx] The second interview we have for you this week finds Chris having a deeply engrossing chat with Repo Man and Walker director Alex Cox about his days hosting BBC 2’s much-missed cinematic gateway, Moviedrome. [30:44 — 44:01 approx]
Then, Chris is joined back in the podbooth by Helen O’Hara and John Nugent for another fun episode in which they discuss Rachel Zegler’s star turn in Evita at the London Palladium, chat about the week’s movie news — including Wake Up Dead Man heading for LFF, The Legend Of Zelda and Werwulf casting announcements, Hoppers and After The Hunt trailers, and The Other Guys — and review Friendship, Smurfs, and Four Letters Of Love. Plus, in a lengthier than usual listener question section, the team programme their ultimate music festival of fictional movie bands. Oh, and Chris coins a nickname for a highly-respected and beloved director. Enjoy.
You can listen to this week’s episode (which, if you’re counting, is #676) on the pod app of your choice. And if you want more of The Empire Film Podcast, but LIVE and IN PERSON, then boy do we have just the thing for you. On Saturday 13 September at 7pm, Team Empire will be coming at you live from Kings Place for an evening of movie news, reviews, nonsense, and maybe a special guest or two as part of this year’s London Podcast Festival. Head on over to Kings Place’s website to secure your ticket now. We’ll see you there!
